The purpose of our study is to image human prostate tissue using a transrectal photoacoustic
imaging probe.
imaging probe.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE(S):
The primary objective of this pilot study is to assess PAI-performance in a clinical setting
to understand limitations of our current PAI instrumentation and to help improve the
next-generation design.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE(S):
To do preliminary evaluations of oxygen saturation in lesions based on PAI-measurements in
order to distinguish malignant from benign prostatic tissue as a basis for future studies.
